Things have been quiet around here and for good reason! We welcomed our son Jude Philip St. Pierre on Sunday December 6th. I knew he was going to crash my birthday after I had a very vivid dream in which he was about ten years old and we were discussing what food we would order in to celebrate our birthday. It sure was a wild way to spend my 33rd birthday, but this little guy granted my dream of having a successful VBAC (so I’m okay with sharing my birthday with him I suppos...e ). I’ll still be checking emails and DM’s but a bit less often as we take some time to truly soak in this newborn phase and the holidays.

One week since this magical day. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to pick one favourite moment or one favourite image from this day, because there are far too many. But this first dance? Yeah. I’ll never forget it. Choreographed to perfection!

Holding onto every last ounce of these summer evenings. The commercials say fall is coming, retailers have their fall stock out, but summer still feels very alive. Soak it all in. Happy Sunday friends.

Hey everyone, just a cute little photo of my smoosh to let you know that as of tonight, I’m away from my emails and am off work for a few days as we’re moving. I’m looking forward to sharing some behind the scenes of our move with you, and giving you a little tour of our new home and the renovations we’ll be tackling! If you need to get a hold of me, please drop me an email and I’ll get back to you in the coming days. Right now I’m booking sessions into August, so please get in touch soon if you’re hoping for a summer session!

As of Friday June 12th, I have been cleared to reopen in stage two as I am based in Simcoe County. BACK IN BUSINESS BABY! I cannot tell you how happy I am feeling in this very moment, as I have missed photographing so very much. As many of my weddings for this season have been postponed to 2021, it leaves a fair amount of availability in my schedule for sessions. Maternity, engagements, proposals, elopements, family, graduation, portrait, branding, and outdoor newborn lifestyle sessions are all open for booking! . If you’ve been holding out from booking a session for a while now, this is a great time to really support your local photographers

Ever heard that pinching your nose will stop you from crying? I hadn’t until I had seen these bridesmaids try it out! Nikki’s adorable crew were fighting back the tears as her and her father shared an emotional reveal.
